Hello,

Following the old lantern discussion on the images group I noticed that 
it was mentioned that, for more realistic results, R+D<1 to keep the 
reflected light intensity below the incoming light intensity. I also 
noticed that as a starting rule of thumb S<R with S=R/2 for most 
materials and S=R for metallic finishes.

How about specular highlight with relation to Diffuse? A very high 
specular value would show a reflected value higher than the incoming 
light. Should it be S+R+D<1?  Or is specular highlight independent? I am 
assuming only specular highlight (phong=0), albedo active, and 
conserve_energy is on.

Most likely I am wrong on this but I just wanted to know if this correct 
for more realistic materials.
